Explorers

                                                                                  Photo prompt © Jean L Hays

People living at the centre of the earth decided that they must explore the world beyond the centre.

A group of brave men and women left in three special purpose vehicles. The journey was harsh and demanding but they were excited; no one had dared to do what they were attempting.

Everyone was elated as they reached the outer space.

But further exploration left them shell shocked.

“I hadn’t imagined that it would be that bad out here.”

“No specie becomes intelligent overnight; in time they too will develop.”

“But we can’t plan another trip in near future.”

“I agree.”

    The state of things must be bad if the people we couldn't find find us and deem us not intelligent enough yet. :) Interesting take on the picture.

    Some of us aren't exactly the sharpest crayons in the box. They must have came up in my neighborhood. Perhaps I've scared them away for two or three generations.

    Dear Arora,

    I guess they figured out what drove them to the center of the earth in first place.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Thanks Rochelle, what worries me is our refusal to 'understand'

    The people from the center of the earth - how interesting and clever - we tend to think we are the intelligent ones - maybe not...

    And back in they go with their cars. And right they are, we haven't evolved far enough yet to really get an understanding of the world around us. Great take on the prompt.

    A terrible state of our earth.. I think that there is no reason to stay if you come from a better place.After all, sunshine is overrated.
